While the project has not detected any ETI signals, it has identified several candidate targets (sky positions), where the spike in intensity is not easily explained as noisespots for further analysis. The most significant candidate signal to date was announced on September 1st, 2004, named Radio source SHGb02+14a.

The specific data upon that find can be found >

So, nothing conclusive as of yet... and any data discovered would be heavily scrutinized by critics of both the program and those who disbelieve in the possibility of extraterrestrial life. But that's the nature of science anyway; it wasn't long ago that people considered the idea of a round planet to be tantamount to the practice of witchcraft.
I suppose they would contact you by the email on your account profile, should anything spectacular arise out of the data you crunch. Credit was given on their site regarding SHGb02+14a.
